The Friends' own Sara Kelsey led a private weir tour on October 30 for a brownie troop of third graders from Croton who are studying water. They were amazed by the weir and the history of New York’s water system. They had lots of questions about water and how to protect it. Our future is in good hands!

Please contact us if your group is interested in such a tour.
